Healthy Peppermint Ice Cream

Making a healthy treat for my next small meal during halftime of the Boise State game 🙂 Just made my own variation of the "Healthy Peppermint Ice Cream" recipe from last month's Oxygen magazine - SO yummy!!! Great way to celebrate that lucky touchdown! 🙂

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together, except for salt, in a bowl. Or, use a blender for quicker results (I used a blender = easier).
2. Pour mixture into a sandwich-sized ziploc bag. Seal the bag. Set aside.
3. Fill a gallon-sized ziploc bag halfway with ice. Add 1/4 c. table salt (salt helps make the ice colder). Place the small ziploc bag into the large ziploc bag and seal.
4. Shake the bag vigorously for 5 minutes, until mixture becomes creamy (I needed to use the full five minutes for it to get thick). Remove the bag and rinse off salt. Serve immediately.

You could do all sorts of alterations to this basic recipe. Omit the peppermint and add any other extract, or use another flavor of whey, add PB, etc. Yum!

Makes 2 servings (but I actually just ate both servings and called it a small meal)
